RATING/REASONING

Overall

10 — no notes, enjoyed my experience, let me forget time and space and sleep and my sanity  :)
9.5 - 8.5 — Great! Some minor things that I subconsciously noticed but can‘t really pinpoint (yet).
8 - 7 — Very Good. Maybe 2-3 open questions, flaws, things that could‘ve been handled/edited/written etc. differently.
6.5 - 5 — watchable, but the things that bothered me are more obvious & nameable, open questions/plotlines, plotholes, not the best acting/directing, flawed story…
4.5 - 3 — not good, could finish it or made it only 2/3s through before dropping it, many flaws everywhere, lots of (personal) issues with it, morally despicable…
2.5 - 1 — I hope I never have to use this and drop the series/movie beforehand.

Story (length, characters, dialogue…)

10 - 7 — length of story, the story itself, characters and dialogue are well to amazingly written and visually told.
6.5 - 5 — all of the above have flaws & the potential to be better. okay to good.
4.5 - 3 — not really good, wattpad level writing (the bad kind), sensitive topics were mindlessly used, morally despicable
2.5 - 1 — same as in „Overall“

Cast/Acting
(& Directing)

10 - 7 — well chosen actors, good to great chemistry, well to greatly acted (more lenient with very young actors for all ratings), director(s) did their job well
6.5 - 5 — actor chemistry was okay, acting might be inconsistent and/or a mix of „first time on stage“ to good, directing might be a  little inconsistent, wobbly/visionless.
4.5 - 3 — acting is stiff, „first time on stage“, school project vibes (but was made by a big production company)
2.5 - 1 — Idk what level of acting, casting, directing would warrant this rating

Music (incl. sound effects & microphone quality)

10 - 8.5 — music/sound effects supported the scenes well, no mic issues
8 - 6.5 — music good, every now and then either a mic issue and/or the sound effects are a little over the top and therefore distracting.
6 - 4.5 — music not always well chosen, the singing is not it, intro music doesn’t match the mood of the series, sound effects often annoying, mic issues
4 - 1 — music/sound effects overshadow/contradict the acting, mic issues.

Rewatch (& recommendation) Value

10 - 7 — very rewatchable. I definitely will rewatch several times and recommend it to anyone
6.5 - 4 — somewhat rewatchable. I would rewatch maybe once or twice to see whether my opinions have changed, the watching experience is different some time later/in a binge watch. Only recommending when I know the other person‘s preferences and limits.
3.5 - 1 — never again. Not for me or anyone else.
